"That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest."
"[Water is] the only drink for a wise man."
"It is never too late to give up our prejudices"
"Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end."
"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
"Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."
-Henry David Thoreau
